Puren Temple, Buddhist temple in Chengde, China
The temple complex contains several halls and pavilions situated along the eastern bank of the Wulie River in northern Chengde.
Built in 1767 under Emperor Kangxi's reign, Puren Temple served as a gathering place for Mongolian nobles celebrating the emperor's 60th birthday.
The architectural design combines traditional Chinese temple structures with Tibetan Buddhist elements, featuring Sanskrit inscriptions and decorative motifs throughout the buildings.
Visitors can access the temple grounds through guided tours that explain the functions of different halls and provide information about the ancient paintings.
Scientists have identified specific pigments in the temple's ceiling paintings, including cinnabar, lead white, and lapis lazuli, bound together with animal glue.
